| My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers Maybe it works like hifi itself. If you think it sounds good, it does. If you think it is revealing, it is. if you think revealing is bad,..... | |
| My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers Yes, it happens! Very revealing! Did I get it right?I can understand why this bugs Eric. It's not as simple as it seems. | |
| My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers My point is good luck with both. PEople make things much harder and more complicated than they often need be. But it does make for an interesting discussion. Is "revealing" really so controversial? That is revealing. :-) | |
